Sol smiled, “You look cute. Ready to go?” It wouldn’t take them long to get to his apartment riding his motorcycle. He had told Joey that he lived above the club, which he did sometimes, but he mostly lived in an apartment uptown.

"T-Thanks." Joey smiled softly, a light blush rising to his cheeks. "And yeah, I'm ready. Your apartment isn't far, right? You said you lived above the club?" He grabbed his keys and headed over to the door, opening it for the both of them.

“Ah, well, I do live above the club sometimes,” Sol said, following Joey out the door. “But I also own an apartment uptown where I usually stay. It’s not too far, and the diner is near there.”

"Ah, alright. That's fine." Joey locked the door behind them and stuck the keys in his pocket as he followed along at Sol's side, humming nervously to himself. He figured he'd have to eat in front of Sol, but he didn't particularly want to.

Sol headed over to his bike and grabbed his helmet. “Here, wear this,” he said, handing it to Joey, then grabbing his jacket out of the saddle bag.

"Okay!" Joey put on the helmet as instructed and carefully climbed onto the back of the bike behind Sol, hesitating before wrapping his arms around the other man's waist. "Is this… safe?"

Sol chuckled. “It’s safe, I promise. I’ve been riding for decades, plus the bike and helmet have enchantments, so you’re perfectly safe,” he said, resting his hand in Joey’s for a moment before starting his bike and rolling out onto the street.

"If you say so…" Joey held tighter to Sol when the bike started moving, obviously much more nervous now that he wasn't drunk. He glanced around as they went along, keeping very close to the other man so he wouldn't fall.

Sol laughed to himself, but made sure to drive extra carefully, slower than he would have on his own. It wasn’t long before they got to his apartment building. “We’re here!”

"Oh, good!" Joey carefully got off the bike, having a little more trouble reaching the ground at first since he was so much shorter than Sol. "Should I wait out here for you?" He asked.

“Whatever you prefer,” Sol replied, getting off the bike and looking at the smaller male. “You can come up if you like, I won’t be long either way.”

"I wouldn't want to intrude or anything… I'll probably just wait out here." Joey took off the helmet for the time being and held it close to himself, glancing around at a couple of nearby people who were eyeing him.

Sol noted the others nearby and repressed the urge to growl. He was already so protective of this angel…
“How about you come inside? It’s a bit windy out here and I don’t want you to get cold.”

"Ah, alright…" Joey paused for a moment before following after Sol, light on his feet and seemingly oblivious. "Do you want me to take off my shoes?" He asked politely as he headed through the door.

“Not unless you want to, I don’t mind,” Sol said with a smile, walking towards his bedroom. “Do you mind if I shower really quick? It won’t take long.”

Joey decided to take his shoes off and set them by the door. "Hmm? Oh! Yeah, that's fine! I'll just wait here." He sat on the couch and ran his fingers through his hair to try and get it to behave, although his efforts seemed to be in vain.

Sol hurriedly showered and dressed in a pair of black jeans and a dark green sweatshirt. Coming back out of his room, he ruffled his wet hair with a towel. “Hey, sorry to make you wait.”

"No problem! I did the same thing this morning, anyway." Joey laughed softly and got up off the couch, fiddling with his clothes until he seemed happy enough with his appearance. "Ready to go?"

Sol nodded with a smile and held out a hand. Ah, am I being too much again? He might not want to hold hands…

Joey eyed Sol's hand for a moment before accepting it, heading out the door with him. "There's a lot of odd people around here, hmm?" He asked softly. "Seems like everyone stares at us… am I dressed weird or something?"

Sol laughed slightly. “No, you look adorable. Angels just usually don’t come here,” he said, gently squeezing his hand. “And some of those people know me and are probably surprised that I brought you here.”

Joey flushed lightly and moved a bit closer to Sol. "But my wings are hidden… they don't know I'm an angel, do they?" He headed outside with Sol, seeming a bit unsure when they got stares again.

“A couple of them are non-humans and can probably smell you, the others are just surprised to see you with me,” Sol said comfortingly. “They won’t bother you with me around, don’t worry”

"Smell me…?" Joey looked down at himself for a moment and then glanced back around at the people around, holding a bit tighter to Sol's hand. "Ah… we should… we should probably get going then, yeah?"

Sol squeezed his hand comfortingly. “Yeah, let’s get going,” he said, leading them over to his bike. “Joey, just know that you’re safe with me, I promise.”
